Dressing up in the schoolroom. Writing with a Quill pen. The guides were excellent and the history of the place amazing!

One of the best museums I have ever visited. The guides were very knowledgeable and interesting and the interactive experiences were fun. Highly recommended.

We didn’t know really what to expect with this experience, but I became one of the best times that we had in Stratford-upon-Avon! The staff did a great job of immersing us in the experience and were all quick to answer any questions that we had. If your going to Stratford, this one is a winner!

The schoolmaster portion was lovely and fun but I don’t think the first half of the tour was interesting for the children. We should probably have started upstairs first. Overall, very friendly staff.

Dear Jatin,
I am delighted you enjoyed your Tudor lesson with Master Jenkins but am sad to hear that the first half of the tour was less interesting. I would be grateful if you could contact me at info@shakespearesschoolroom.org to give me some more insight into what we could do better.

Regina was so entertaining and informative leading this tour. She and the Master were so generous with their knowledge and tidbits about the Shakespearean era. Though I had studied a great deal about Shakespeare's plays, they added things that that I would never have known without this tour.

Super fun tour for kids to experience school life in Shakespeare’s time! The master is amazing! Also having a go writing within ink and a feather was lovely!

After we arrived, it got busy with a school group & a couple of family groups.
The staff were friendly & helpful, although they were busy with the large groups, they kept checking in on us, making sure we had seen the exhibits & videos in the different parts of the guildhall.
